There was an issue with the TS-7400 where I believe a reset pin was left floating. When an SD card was in the socket the board would not boot because it was held in reset. TS fixed this issue but you may have a board that did not receive the CPLD update.

We have two problems with the TS-7400 and SD-cards.
All SD-cards prepared according to
http://www.embeddedarm.com/epc/fastboot.htm
with an SD-card reader suitable for 4G SD-cards.

Any clues out there?

First problem, not so important:
We can't get it to boot at all.

Second problem, with 512M and 1G SD-cards, rather important:
For some reason we are not able to bypass the fastboot on the TS-7400.
With the original SD-card we had no problem.
